Best comment on the video:
"i seized up, fell to the floor, and dreamed of an eagle shooting a gun on the moon with fireworks going off behind him. all the presidents and forefathers were there, having a barbecue. jefferson and franklin were boxing, shirtless. superman cheered them on. apple pie fell from the lunar sky like rain, beneath a full earth. far above us, america glowed with unearthly light. i ended up high-fiving jesus so hard that i woke up.
what i am trying to say is that this is the best thing."

| Trains and You, a public safety announcement |

Hi. My name is Brian, and I like trains.
I'd like to talk to you, today, about their insatiable lust for human blood. Trains run on human blood, and they will use their flashing lights to hypnotize you onto the tracks.
Stay away! Do not become victims, like these poor people:
http://www.ktvu.com/news/19943590/detail.html
--Brian
PS: In all seriousness, trains are heavy, and oft-times moving at 70-80 MILES AN HOUR. It is very easy to misjudge a train's approach speed, and NO, they will not stop for you when you try and beat them across the tracks, either walking or in your car.
Trains take most of a MILE to stop. Got it? And with the increase in train activity, due to the light rail, this is going to become important.
Be safe. Stay alive.

Normally, I'm against remakes. But, this one could be good. Plus, it has the possibility of Morena Baccarin eating a rat.

Pour an 'Ed McMahon', tonight, and drink to the greatest television sidekick ever.
Get a glass, fill it with ice. Now, crack open a can of your favorite beverage (Or, to honor the man, a can of Budweiser - don't be snarky). Start pouring, and pull the glass and can apart. See how far you can seperate the two, without spilling a drop.
To your health.

Hey, peeps, we have a nasty one coming in, even a tornado watch! Unlikely we'll see any excitement from that, but there WILL be a brief, if violent, storm cell passing nearby/over us.
Put your cars in your garages!
